Winner of the 2022 Concrete Wolf Louis Award'"Sometimes you have to tell a story / your entire life to get it right,"' Emily Ransdell says in this exquisite debut volume of poems. Though richly different, the stories-about family, about our fragile planet, about the ways loss takes its inevitable toll-together relate a single human story. When I read good poems, I may learn about a poet's life. When I read great ones, I learn about my own. One Finch Singing is a book of such poems."-Andrea Hollander, author of Blue Mistaken for Sky""I was swept away by the taut grace of these lyrical narrative poems."-Lana Hechtman Ayers, author of When All Else Fails
